LaToya Bivins , LPC

LaToya Bivins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career or motivation difficulties. LaToya also supports those working on self-esteem, confidence, and women's issues.

LaToya uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each person. She listens with sensitivity and respect, then tailors sessions to individual needs. Her style is practical and focused on small, doable steps that build toward change.

Sessions often include tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with attention to thoughts, behaviors, and everyday habits that shape mood. She may suggest exercises to practice between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.

LaToya has worked with people dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, workplace stress, and life transitions. She also addresses body image, forgiveness, communication problems, and figuring out life purpose.

People who choose her can expect a cooperative approach. She aims to empower clients to set goals, test new ways of coping, and notice what helps in real life. The focus is on practical change rather than labels or jargon.

How CBT and online sessions can support change

LaToya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them, and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve relationships.

She focuses on a collaborative process to find the right approach. Together with the client she clarifies goals, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan as needs and preferences become clearer. This makes it easier to choose strategies that fit daily life and personal values.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people have fuller conversations with visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a busy schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, processing thoughts between sessions, or when writing helps clarify feelings. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, caregiving duties, or other routines.
